Review for Cansurvive Gyn Cancer Support Group, Birmingham, AL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a survivor of a rare gyn cancer, choriocarcinoma (or GTN). I found out about this group at my doctor's office where I took my chemo treatments. It has been great to gather with other ladies who have been down this same path. We have all been dealt the blow of receiving the diagnosis of cancer, we have all endured cancer treatment from surgery or radiation or chemo. There is something to be said about being with people who truly understand these difficulties, yet are able to offer encouraging words and endeavor to lift your spirits! I have enjoyed making friends in this group. Cheryl is great about keeping everyone informed. There are many activities and opportunities to interact, volunteer and get involved in awareness campaigns and fundraisers.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Periodically offer child care for group meetings. (Once or twice a year, maybe?) Cancer is not a respecter of age, and many of us are mothers of young children. There may be more involvement from time to time if there was something offered for little ones, too.
